July 5, 2013: Three Bridges Park on the east side of Grand Junction
The name was announced in July, but the path from coast to coast wasn’t made official until Sept. 13, 1913. The New York Times article about the announcement is reprinted here.
At the time, the Lincoln Highway entered Tama from the east on what is now 9th Street; the 5th Street extension, with the famous bridge, would not open for another few years. The official online Lincoln Highway Association map now reflects this.
